Albion Park Race 9

Pryde's Easifeed Easioil Trotters Discretionary Handicap

Prize Money: $14,980

NOT AS PROMISED (5) proved too good in a winning return last week, getting home by 4m. That was his first outing since the Inter Dominion final in July so it should have improved him and he is proven at this longer distance. Can overcome the 20m handicap to deliver again. ZEALOUS SPUR NZ (4) is a consistent trotter who added to a string of top-four finishes when he raced parked from this mark last start. Freshened since but was a good winner here two back. Major player. LOVE GUN (6) is racing well having placed in both outings since recording back-to-back wins in standing start races. Go well. HIDE AND SEEK (7) is in form with a couple of recent wins under the belt and has won two of three attempts at this longer distance.

Didn't do much at the last run, 11th (10m Fr6) over 2138m at this track beaten 70 m by Sheza Chance (2:39.90) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on September 30 at $81. Before that 5th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track beaten 30 m by Sheza Chance (2:37.30) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on September 23 at $31. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Didn't do much last time out, was well beaten after breaking at this track on September 30. Before that 6th (Sr4) over 2138m at this track beaten 40 m by Sheza Chance (2:37.30) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on September 23 at $26. This looks a tough test.

Resumed from a 70-day break with a strong win a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (2:36.40) beating Get Used To It in No NR on September 27 at $1.35. Looked good in a winning return and can go on with it.

Good run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Zealous Spur at this track over 1660m in a No NR on August 23 at $2.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Hide And Seek at this track over 2138m in a No NR on September 6 at $7. Can continue the fine form.
